What do you think the most boring Super Bowl was

Aqua Giants : 6/21/2018 12:32 am
In terms of boring. What is the most boring Super Bowl you have watched

55-10 I think is mine, I forget what teams it was that played I think it was the 49ers who scored 55. Maybe Denver?
I didn't watch the Steelers-Seahawks

Superbowl for a few reasons, one of which was because I thought it would be boring. From what I hear, I was right.

Yup. Agree with this post 100%.

I spent time with my girlfriend and paid more attention to her over the game, which was odd. Just a terribly boring, horribly called game by the refs. I didn't find either of those two teams a compelling enough reason to watch from the dawn when I realized that they would be head to head in the Super Bowl.

I felt the same way about Baltimore vs San Francisco game a couple of years ago but at least that game was sort of fun to watch.
Chargers 49ers.

That was the worst SB of all time, the officiating was atrocious

Colts vs Cowboys
Super Bowl III  
Gman11 : 6/21/2018 7:30 am : link
Neither team did much. The Colts were so inept they had to bring in an over-the-hill Johnny Unitas to try to get any offense going.

Second goes to the Dolphins-Redskins game 14-7 where Yepremian tried to throw the ball after a botched snap on a FG.

Seattle vs Denver...game was over after Peyton's first snap turned into a safety.
There were a lot of boring Super Bowls in the 80s  
Greg from LI : 6/21/2018 7:58 am : link
After the Redskins-Dolphins in 1982, there wasn't a competitive Super Bowl again until 1988. All blowouts in the interim: Raiders-Redskins, Niners-Dolphins, Bears-patriots, Giants-Broncos, Redskins-Broncos. I can remember people joking in the late 80s that the Bud Bowl was more exciting than the Super Bowl. And from 1982 to 1995, there were only two close games in 1988 and, of course, 1990.
I thought the Tampa - Raiders game  
Jimmy Googs : 6/21/2018 8:01 am : link
was the worst relative to interest and excitement.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had already written the lead for this year's Super Bowl game; I wrote it last year in Los Angeles, and a quick rip through my fat manila folder of clips labeled "Football '73" turned it up as if by magic.

I jerked it out of the file, and retyped it on a fresh page slugged: "Super Bowl/Houston '74." The only change necessary was the substitution of "Minnesota Vikings" for "Washington Redskins." Except for that, the lead seemed just as adequate for the game that would begin in about six hours as it was for the one that I missed in Los Angeles in January of '73.

"The precision-jackhammer attack of the Miami Dolphins stomped the balls off the Minnesota Vikings today by stomping and hammering with one precise jack-thrust after another up the middle, mixed with pinpoint-precision passes into the flat and numerous hammer-jack stops around both ends ..."


Thompson's last gig was writing a weekly column on the NFL. His final note to the world read: "The football season is over."

Was one of the worst played games ever. Both teams sucked and did not belong in the game. The only question was which team would suck the least. The game was so boring most people that i knew stopped watching it by half time.
Bears-Patriots and 49ers-Chargers  
ij_reilly : 6/21/2018 8:34 am : link
Bears-Patriots was over before halftime.

49ers-Chargers was over in the first quarter.

Both total mismatches.
For me...

49ers-Chargers

Bucs-Raiders

Steelers-Seahawks


for me  
lightemup : 6/21/2018 9:14 am : link
it was broncos seahawks and there isn't a close second. There were many stinkers, but this game was over the first broncos possession. They never made you believe they would compete
Seattle and Denver

That game was over in the first minute.

Agree. The game sucked until the last half of the 4th quarter.

That James Harrison pick and run was incredible though in that game. Thought for a second the Cards would pull it off after Fitgerald broke through late

Last year's superbowl was not boring  
Essex : 6/21/2018 11:39 am : link
but it did remind of watching like a Big12 college game (including the Philly special which was illegal formation), where the defenses could not stop the offenses and it was going to be one defensive play that the game came down to (In this case it was the Chris Long strip). Maybe it was the Eagles winning it and all, but I would like to think I would always think that while the game might have been "exciting," it was terrible football.
I'm sure a lot of it is anti-Eagles bias on my part  
Greg from LI : 6/21/2018 11:44 am : link
But I still look at that team and think "Really? That's a championship team?"

If I wasn't a Giants fan, I would have turned that off before halftime.

I love defense and all - but there was just nothing exciting about that game.

Seattle/Denver was awful too.

11 Combined turnovers.

SF-Chargers.
I thought the Colts-'Boys and Bucs-Raiders were interesting. The former was because of the O ineptness on both sides, and the later because, except for the key Brooks and Barber picks, where the Raiders were otherwise having good drives, one of those becoming a TD change the momentum.

Also wanted to add that while this doesn't make the cut as it wasn't a Super Bowl, this was an absolutely eyesore of a football game. The moment however is so legendary that the game is now remembered as legendary. It was garbage
1999 Broncos-Falcons  
kinard : 6/21/2018 1:31 pm : link
34-17 Broncos. Everyone remembers Denver-Green bay the year before but the next super bowl was so boring, everyone forgot about it...

Only notable thing about it was Falcon's Eugene Robinson getting busted the night before the game for soliciting a prostitute hours after receiving a good citizenship award.

I know Jimmy Orr who played WR for Colts back in that game. He has told me that there were some sloppy plays for sure but that there were some big hits too by the defense of both teams causing some of those turnovers.

Great stories listening to him talk about that game and the one that got away to Jets two years earlier.
i enjoy good defense  
BlackburnBalledOut : 6/21/2018 5:27 pm : link
so, i hated last years superbowl, obviously bc philly won it but i thought that game was terrible.

fanofthejets : 6/21/2018 5:41 pm : link
The NFL has been fanatically fine tuning the game yearly to encourage the offense you saw in the SB last year. The NFL could, and should be more balanced. It would be a more interesting game. But the league wants obscene statistics and points on every drive. Honest defense has been legislated out of the sport. I mean you literally see the Patriots when they're trailing throw up 60 yard uncatchable hail mary's out of bounds and have their receivers initiate contact and dive. The result is a 60 yard penalty and a first and goal jump ball TD to Gronkowski.

The first 6,000 yard season is coming soon.

Manny in CA : 6/23/2018 11:44 am : link

Probably Super Bowl XXV. The Bills came in with an unstoppable offense and was throttled.

The Giants played great defense, ate up up the clock and deflated the football with Otis Anderson. Boring
